On this very special episode of Anthony Saves the World, our heroic duo must figure out a way to rid themselves of the demonically possessed masked intruder that they created in the previous episode. Anthony grapples with the rules of the universe when an unforeseen complication arises.

Interesting. I want to see were this show was going. It seems like it could be the next Doomsday Arcade (which is always a good thing). Oh, and I totally thought that the Laura Bush mask was really a Smiler mask (y'know, from Transmetropolitan).

I pray that Anthony's balls made it out ok. I'm now traumatised by Laura Bush's face. At first, seeing her space was kind of weird, but now thanks to your mask, that's it. These masks they use in movies of public figures in crime films (The Town) is way more scary than any clowns.

Oh, and great episode. Didn't know you had to reflect a bullet while jumping off a plank.

I don't know if this is good yet. It just seems a bit scrappy the way the lines were delivered as it wasn't always clear what was being said and a couple of the cuts needed some work. But overall I'm still incredibly pleased there is a narrative-based, non-animated action show being shown on the escapist. So far I'm not that impressed, but I'm still willing to give it time. I have high high hopes.

edit: also, as a Brit, the name Laura Bush means nothing to me so I am annoyed I'm missing out on the joke there.

I actually agree with you. Episode 2 was really rough, and I wanted to reshoot the whole thing but-- try producing a WEEKLY narrative based action comedy with a full time job in the games industry :)

Episode 3 and 4 are _huge_ improvements in the technical department. Would love to hear what you think of them once you watch them.

Ha ha, great to hear it. I look forward to it. And I admit I could never get anything close to as good as this, I just have unfairly high standards of others.

Okay, I'm going to remain optimistic about this like I was with Apocalypse Lane, but still I've got a few problems.

The "polycarbonate suit" felt a little too convenient, plus it doesn't seem to work when you think about it; the suit is flexible enough to move like a normal suit, which means that when a bullet hits it the suit will flex around the bullet and form a shape similar to it, the bullet might not pierce the suit, but the suit will pierce your flesh if enough force is behind it and that force is concentrated into a single point.

I'm hoping this gets revealed later and proves to be decent, but I'm still wondering if the demons are really necessary since there are plenty of other things that can stand in for the "bad guy" position like clones, aliens, robots, mutants or just normal human beings who simply have a problem with Anthony for something he'll eventually do but doesn't know about yet.

Other than that, I hope that this turns out well in later episodes. It may be a rocky start now but it's only the beginning, so I'm still going to remain hopeful.

love the music , love the plot , hate the action scenes.the action seems very fake ... the punches , grabs are all too slow which makes them seem fake and its easy to see how it was practiced as in the 1st episode i could tell whats going to happen.

so far iam liking the series but i do hope you get into the fighting scenes with more passion ...

OT: How exactly did swinging a shovel kill the guy INSIDE the house? Does that imply that you "Rebounded" the bullet, cause that could've been shown a bit more clearly, I think. Also, i agree with what one of the other guys said, The "Haha, thought i was dead? Not Really!" thing is going to get very old very fast.

Overall, looking pretty good, I'll take your word on Ep 3-4 being much more polished :)

Oh yeah! This episode is much better than the previous. Cotton Candy pheromones and using a snow shovel to send a bullet back to possessed laura bush...awesome. That epic maneuver with the snow shovel and landing in the pool should be an avatar.

It's fine, because of, uh... Nano... Polymer... Fibre... Weave. Controlled by... Computers. Yes. Computers chip. With sensors. Throughout the suit. And they... Detect when parts of the fabric are under unusual stress... Which means that it's pliable when you move it with your hands, but hardens when struck with a bullet! Yes. Also prevents creases.
